| Abstract | Formicidae and Isoptera have been commonly used in forest characterization studies. The objective in this study was determined the effect of four levels of degradation of Pepital and Grande forests (Alcantara-Maranhao-Brazil) on the Formicidae and Isoptera richness. Sampling was realized during dry and wet seasons, using the TSBF modified method. For Formicidae, 85 species were identified, its richness was higher in the dry season, also showed significant difference for secondary forests compared to anthropic use areas. For Isoptera, 38 species were identified, significant differences were observed in richness of secondary forests during the dry season and Grande forest for both season. We concluded that the degradation has a strong effect on the richness of ants and termites, with minimum values in the anthropic areas. We highlight the potential of the two groups as bioindicators of riparian forests degradation. |
